LME on track to bring Select to Asian market

London Metal Exchange (LME) has said it is on track to
extend hours on its Select electronic trading platform to cover
the Asian time zone on 1 March, the exchange's director of
corporate affairs Anna Campopiano said on 7 February.

As of 1 March, Select will open for trading at 1am (GMT)
compared with the current 7am opening. LME was, last week,
still seeking some regulatory approvals from countries in the
region, but the extension of hours will go ahead even if all
the approvals are not received, Campopiano said.
